On Saturday we went to a lovely beach a short drive away. It's called Whitsand Bay and is accessed from the main road down a very steep path. Okay doing down but not quite so okay coming back up. I wish I was fitter. Simon and Emily walked the dog along the beach and went body boarding in the water. I sat and knitted this:

Look at that blue sky? It was pleasantly warm, not hot but then it's the end of September. Why didn't we have this sort of weather in August. We have had more sun in the last week than we had for the whole of August.
I finally got some spinning done last night. Last time I spun sometime in early August I think I was battling with the Wensleydale fibre (got 3 lots of it) and not getting on very well with it. Don't like it at all. Love the colourway just don't like spinning it. So last night I finally took it off the wheel and started this gorgeous blue/white bamboo/merino blend from DragonFibre.
Been a busy day, I've been dyeing the Sockamania PLUS yarn and 300gr of merino/silk fibre which I dyed in gorgeous purple and lilac colours. This fibre is for me as it's my favorite fibre to spin so far.

Sorry to hear you are having dental troubles again, hope it goes well at the dentist.
Whitsand Bay is beautiful, the sun glittering off the sea is amazing. Thanks for sharing the photos :-)
Nice to hear from you today, Anni. Love your beach sock and your spinning - wow! Wish I could spin. So satisfying to dye, spin and then knit :)
Ohh..I'm going to have to dig through some boxes and find my spinning (drop spindle) as I haven't done any of that since I've been back from Korea. Was thinking of doing some just the other day, but never got around to it...
